      Might want to rephrase that... :D "...no utility bills, just financial freedom" would been better statement, though you can never be free.. government will always tax you. If you think you are free, dont pay taxes and you will find who actually owns your land and other property.

      @@solarcabin You can do that voluntarily - but instead you want people with guns stealing from people to enrich governments. Government is like someone randomly without you asking mowing your lawn and charging you $2k then threatening you to pay or armed men will come to your house and they will steal your property. Doesnt matter you didnt want your lawn mowed for $2k, you must pay because you were given a service. You advocate theft and extortion.

    I love how you mention seemingly small details that people may overlook--like when you mentioned the window in the kitchen allows you to see the front of the house to see when guests arrive. Seems small, but our home has few windows and bedrooms are toward the back of the home, so it really sucks when we're in the bedroom watching TV and waiting for a pizza, a serviceman, or guest because we have to keep getting up at every little sound to look out the window in the bathroom--and if someone is in there and not looking out, we have to walk to the living room. Sounds dumb, but it's a pain! Not everyone uses doorbells! lol

      You'd be amazed how little a "good school district" matters. As long as you're not in a criminal urbanite hellscape, even bad school districts are fairly good. Most of the child development is going to depend on the extra assistance they get from the parent. Most good school kids without parental assistance get nowhere near a shitty district kid with a bit of proper parental help every now and then.

    I think I would be asking for a 30yr mortgage and just pay extra per month if and when I could. $500+ dollar minimum is a lot easier to cover versus over $1K+ plus taxes and insurances and gives a person room to breathe. Installing a carport or garage would be my first job and start getting bids on the interior if I was not doing the work myself. Those random holes in the walls give me red flags I would be testing for illegal things being created in that house and not a pony living inside for smells.

      That’s a great point! Two different houses that are the exact same floor plan can have very different energy costs based on the building materials, and even the direction the house is facing and landscaping.

      The dollar is paper and lots of freemason graffiti. Great vid. Yep, every kitchen needs a window over sink and pantry. Metal roofs for better water reclamation. It'd take me about 2 weeks to put in 50 garden beds 10'x 4'. Long hot and humid summers down in la. Good delta soil, gator meat. I can smell it!✝️
